In PowerBuilder, you work with one or more targets in a workspace. You can add as many targets to the workspace as you want, open and edit objects in multiple targets, and build and deploy multiple targets at once.
A PowerBuilder target can be one of two types:
PowerScript target A client/server or multitier executable application or a server component. Most of this book is concerned with building PowerScript applications. See Chapter 5, “Working with PowerScript Targets.”
Web target A Web target that can contain all the elements you need to build a Web site application—HTML files, scripts, images, downloaded components—or a JavaServer Pages (JSP) application. A Web target also contains settings for build options, database connections, and deployment. Web targets are described in detail in a separate book, Working with Web and JSP Targets.
For more information about creating a workspace and targets, see “Creating and opening workspaces” and “Creating a target”.
